An unrelated sporting event has become the fuse for celebrities and entrepreneurs to go toe-to-toe on social media. At the recent Paris Olympics, the famous star Huang Xiaoming was humiliated and abused in public by the well-known entrepreneur Tang Yafei for wishing his relatives athletes to win the championship.
The cause of the incident was on August 4, in the women's singles final of the table tennis event, Chen Meng from the national team defeated teammate Sun Yingsha to win the championship in one fell swoop. As Chen Meng's cousin, Huang Xiaoming immediately posted on social platforms to celebrate his relatives' good results, and shared his joy with his friends by sending red envelopes.
But in this happy scene, a well-known entrepreneur named Tang Yafei suddenly got involved and made a series of appalling inappropriate remarks. Tang Yafei not only publicly questioned the fairness of the game, but also directly left a message under Huang Xiaoming's circle of friends to slander Chen Meng's victory as "shady".
"Chen Meng's championship is purely deliberately arranged, in order to allow her to retire with honor!" Tang Yafei insulted, "Sun Yingsha is the world's No. 1 and well-deserved champion, and her opportunity was deliberately deprived!"
This blatant personal attack undoubtedly shocked many netizens. What's even more unbelievable is that a business executive can make such unreasonable accusations about the outcome of a sporting event.
"This remark is really stupid to the extreme, and it completely provokes the bottom line of sportsmanship." Some netizens said angrily, "What can a mere sports competition decide? Tang Yafei was probably blinded by fame and fortune, and he was so open-mouthed. "
As Tang Yafei's inappropriate remarks spread on the Internet, more netizens joined in the condemnation. Some people directly opened Tang Yafei's official website and mall, and launched a series of severe reports and complaints about its products and services.
Faced with the surging torrent of "mobs", Tang Yafei seemed to be in a hurry for a while. The products in the mall had to be temporarily taken off the shelves, and the comment section on the official website was also forbidden to speak. Undoubtedly, this is just a gesture of self-preservation.
But even so, Tang Yafei still suffered a huge loss of goodwill in the first place. According to sources, some investors have taken the initiative to withdraw their investment, and the company's development has suffered a heavy blow.
"This is a lesson that I firmly believe in the culture of the 'fan circle'." A senior netizen said, "As a well-known entrepreneur, Tang Yafei is obviously completely unaware of his identity and status. She was easily lost in the idolatry of the moment, and as a result, such outrageous excesses were produced. "
Tang Yafei's aphasia also highlighted the bearing and demeanor of star Huang Xiaoming from another side. In the face of such an unfair insult to his relatives, Huang Xiaoming never said a word about it, until the incident fermented to the end, and he chose to respond with silence.
"While maintaining his inner concentration, Huang Xiaoming also used facts to fiercely respond to the opponent's unreasonable abuse." Public opinion generally believes that "genuine Olympic athletes always deserve the respect of all sectors of society, and any unreasonable slander will only become the laughing stock of others." "
Whether it is fame and fortune or being spurned, in the final analysis, it is the result of a choice. In this online war of words, Huang Xiaoming's composure and generosity won widespread praise, but Tang Yafei's open-mouthed mouth made her once spurned by public opinion and hit hard by business.
As the old saying goes, "It's easy to insult, but it's so costly." In the pursuit of fame and fortune, people should maintain high moral integrity and pure character, and never be blinded by momentary anger or prejudice. Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be a terrible price to pay for those rash behaviors.
Let us also learn from this and work together to uphold the fairness, justice and fraternity that the sports world deserves. Only in this way can sports fully demonstrate its noble charm that transcends national borders, nations and even individuals
